Get Serious!  40:20 Campaign for Leeds

Schumacher North has joined with Friends of the Earth, Leeds Stop Climate Chaos and Leeds TIDAL in a new campaign to get the City Council to commit to major action on climate change now!

FoE's Get Serious! campaign aims to persuade local authorities around the country to make a firm commitment to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 40% by 2020.  This is the minimum scientists now see as necessary to avoid tipping over into runaway global warming - it is well within the power of the City Council to achieve this but only if they significantly strengthen the measures proposed in their current Climate Acton Plan (published 3 December - click here to download).
